Deleting backups
Is it okay to delete the old backups that Links creates?

If it is okay to delete them why should one keep them and how long?

Yes...it's safe to delete them if you don't need them. I only keep the last two backups and delete the others periodically to save server space.

You should at least retain the latest backup just in case something happens that corrupts your regular links.db. I've never had this happen, but from posts on the board it sounds like some folks have had trouble occasionally.
